Lu Xia frowned. She wondered whether her little brother had overheard her conversation. Then again, it did not matter since he did not know what she was talking about.

  Lu Xia gathered her thoughts. She headed towards Lu Ziming and asked him. “Why are you standing here?”


  “Who were you talking to?” Lu Ziming frowned and looked at Lu Xia.

  He had heard his older sister saying nothing would go wrong since someone did not have any evidence.

  Lu Xia glanced at him calmly. “It has nothing to do with you. Mind your own business.”


  This idiot caused her to be utterly embarrassed the last time.

  “What are you plotting this time?” asked Lu Ziming bluntly.

  Lu Xia’s face turned dark. “Lu Ziming, I’m your biological older sister. How can you say this? What do you think of me?”


  She simply did not get it. Even though they did not get along in their past lives, things were never this bad.

  “You are too scheming and are no sister of mine,” scoffed Lu Ziming before he turned to leave.

  Lu Xia was in a good mood, but Lu Ziming ruined it instantly.

  After Huo Xiang left Xiang Nan’s place and got back into the car, he seemed dejected.

  Huo Yao was wearing one earphone and was listening to a conversation. She looked at Huo Xiang and asked him. “Brother Xiang, did you manage to squeeze anything out of him?”


  Huo Xiang exhaled deeply and said with a sad smile, “He said nothing. He kept insisting that the song was his creation. I shouldn’t have come here.”


  Huo Yao raised her brow as she listened to the audio from her phone. “That’s not true.”


  If her fourth older brother did not go knocking on Xiang Nan’s door, she would not have managed to hear such an interesting conversation.

  Huo Xiang was still feeling emotional, so he failed to pay attention to Huo Yao’s words. Instead, he said, “I didn’t expect Xiang Nan to behave like this. We used to be good friends who shared everything.”


  Huo Yao removed her earphones. She extended her hand and patted Huo Xiang on his shoulder. “People change. You have to stop being so kindhearted.”


  Huo Xiang’s eyes twitched. Was she trying to console him again?

  Why did it sound like she was looking down on him?

  Huo Yao leaned lazily into the car seat before she said generously, “Let’s go, Brother Xiang. I will buy you dinner to help you recharge your batteries. You should have a good rest tonight. What if there’s a surprise waiting for you tomorrow?”


  Huo Xiang glanced at his little sister quietly. He felt that their roles had been reversed again.

  Who on earth was the little sister and older brother here?!

  However, it certainly helped lift his mood a little.

  Huo Xiang started the car. After they left the estate, Huo Yao contemplated before giving him an address.

  It was for Old Mr. Yi’s medicinal cooking restaurant.

  Hao Yao recalled Min Yu saying the restaurant was not open to the public and mainly served regulars with reservations, so she texted Old Mr. Yi while she was on her way.

  Old Mr. Yi was naturally happy to know that Huo Yao wanted to dine at the restaurant. He even offered to swing by and whip up a couple of dishes for her to sample. However, Huo Yao turned him down.

  Huo Yao was genuinely afraid of these old geezers. They either wanted to take her in as their disciple or become her students. She was starting to get a little tired of turning them down.

  Twenty minutes later, the car pulled up outside Old Mr. Yi’s medicinal dish restaurant.
